[Vision2020] BC blood feud

[Sue Hovey]

While I certainly don't see anything in the JW religion that compels me to 
join, I really do appreciate their willingness to stick up for their belief 
in the separation of church and state.  Some very important Supreme Court 
Rulings of 30& 40 years ago were brought by that group in an attempt to 
strengthen the rights of students not to participate in practices in 
violation of their religious beliefs--prayer in school, bible reading for 
religious purposes, etc. (Engle v. Vitale, one example)
